ABCs of Becoming a Christian

Admit

Admit to God that you are a sinner.  Repent, turning away from your sin.

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord," Acts 3:19

Believe

Believe that Jesus is God's Son and accept God's gift of forgiveness from sin.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.'" John 14:6

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast."  Ephesians 2:8-9

"He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.  Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." John 1:11-13

Confess

Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."        1 John 1:9

"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.  For, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Romans 10:9-10,13
